On the night of Friday, Nov. 15, a brown leather camera bag full of vintage photographic equipment and a camera was stolen from a car parked in the lot of the Kataluma Apartments. The theft was discovered the next day by the vehicle owner, who reported the crime to the Houghton Police Department.
After the crime, a bouquet of roses was planted by the so-called “Rose Thief” on the windshield. It is currently unclear what the meaning of the flowers is or what the motive for the theft was.
